Product Description

38″ Zeus Loom

Designed to accommodate a small traditionally sized rug (35 by 40 inches), our largest loom can easily be moved from room to room or driven to a workshop while providing a weaving space usually reserved for large, heavy, immobile floor looms. And unlike his larger cousins, the Zeus Loom can easily be stored when not in use because of his slim Mirrix physique. Warping the entire width of the loom will take no more than an hour once you’ve nailed the process down. He also provides better tension than most wooden floor looms, having the strength of double aluminum bottom and top beams, and the shedding device is easy and efficient to operate.

Paired with a Mirrix Loom Stand and a Spencer Treadle, the Zeus Loom becomes a floor loom for a fraction of a floor loom’s cost and a way smaller foot print. You don’t have to fill up our entire weaving space to have a loom that produces large rugs or tapestries. He takes only seconds to put on or take off the stand. The treadle attaches and unattaches just as easily so you can easily dismantle the floor loom-like set up and just take your with you.

Note: This loom comes with updated clips that are slightly different than those shown in our instructions. Learn about the improvements (and how to secure the clips to your loom) here: http://www.mirrixlooms.com/new-clip-design/

I bought my Zeus a little over a year ago, I absolutely love it! I do beadwork and with the Zeus I can have multiple projects on my loom at the same time. I have since added 2 more Mirrix looms to my collection.

Clip this add-on beam to the back of the bottom beam of your loom with the included C-Clamps and you increase the distance between the front and back warps by an inch and a half, providing a total of two and a half inches of space between the two layers of warp. This is perfect for those who weave wide bead pieces using the traditional method because you can easily get your hand behind the warp to hold the beads in place. It also works for tapestry weavers who want more space between the front and back warps.

*Note: The bottom beam does not increase the size of the shed, only the space between the two layers of warp.

This treadle is the first (that we know of) electric treadle for a portable tapestry loom. You can easily change the shed (for tapestry weaving primarily) by pressing down on a pedal that will electronically change the shed without having to use your hands. Easy, fast and perfect for tapestry weaving!
Notes: The treadle is designed to be used with the newer wooden clips. If you do not have these clips on your loom please choose the option that includes wooden clips. We are charging our cost for these clips (half the normal price we charge). If you have purchased the treadle and have plastic clips and have not discussed this with us, please write to [email protected].
You can download instructions, troubleshooting information and safety warnings for the power treadle here.
See a video on how to install the treadle here.
A video on the finishing of the treadle can be found here.

style="text-align: left;" align="center">Named after our late take-us-anywhere horse Loreli, this is the perfect take-anywhere loom to add to your collection. The 5” Mini Mirrix Loreli Loom is small, mighty and ready to meet all your small beading and tapestry needs. Who needs knitting when you’ve got this precious little loom? She is meant to either lie down flat on a table, stand on her square base or sit comfortably in your lap. She’s a great loom to take places because she is so compact, but don't be fooled by her small stature. The Mini can accommodate a piece 2.5” wide and 16” long, large enough to make a necklace or miniature tapestry.
You have three options for warping the Mini Mirrix with all the necesssary accessories included. With the No Warp-Ends Kit you can make either a beaded piece or a tapestry with only two warp ends to weave in at the end. This solves that age-old problem of what to do with all those warp ends, especially when creating jewelry. You can also use the method in which a warping bar is used, giving you the advantage of being able to weave a longer piece since you can rotate your weaving to the back of the loom giving you a bunch of additional weaving room. And lastly, you can warp this loom using the “Easy Warp” method, which takes just moments to do! So many options in one compact and portable workhorse of a loom. From the beach to the studio, this is a loom you will never leave home without.

One of our best-selling looms, great for bead weaving and tapestries. Fits in your lap or stands on a table.
The smallest of our looms designed to accommodate both tapestry and bead weaving, The Little Guy is so cute, so portable and fits perfectly on a lap when he isn’t standing on a table with his two fold out legs. Weighing in at a featherweight 5 pounds, this 12 inch wide loom is a workshop goer’s dream. Weave a fiber or bead tapestry up to 9 inches wide and 24 inches high.

The no warp-ends kit eliminates the need to weave-in warp ends when bead weaving. It can only be used without the shedding device. It is perfect for using with any kind of warp material including wire. Set up with the no warp-ends kit is very easy and once you have it in place, you can weave as many pieces as you want (as long as they are the same size) using the same set up. Read more here.

The “Easy Warp” Sam Loom is the perfect loom for beginners interested in tapestry or other types of weft-faced weaving and/or bead weaving. It is a 12” Loom, but one that comes with just the basics: a frame and a 14 dent coil (and no coil tray). Because it is the same size as the 12” Little Guy Loom, you can add on accessories like a shedding device or Extra Warping Bar Kit as you need them! The chief difference between the Easy Warp Loom and our other looms is that it is meant to be warped in a different (and very easy) way. Simply tie your warp to one of the brass pieces on the front of the loom, and wrap your warp around the loom. You can also use this method on any other Mirrix Loom!
With this warping method, you can weave a piece on one side of the loom and then turn the loom around, move the legs to the other side, and weave another smaller piece on that side!
If you are just getting started weaving and want a loom you can grow with, the "Easy Warp" Sam Loom is the one for you!

Specially made for us in Sweden from the same texsolv used to make all non-metal heddles for floor looms, these one-eye Mirrix heddles come in a roll of 100. They are strong (they should last as long as you and your loom do), easy to use and are good at almost any sett on the loom because they are thin. For bead weaving past 18 dents per inch we recommend making your own thinner heddles. These are the only pre-made heddles you can buy that work on the Mirrix Loom if you choose not to make your own.

These limited edition sumptuous hardwood clips are a luxurious addition to any Mirrix Loom. Get them as an upgrade if you already have a Mirrix, or buy a pair as a stylish addition to a brand new Mirrix Loom.
Choose between Purple Heart and Lacewood (Australian Silky Oak). Clips are hand-finished with clear tung oil.
These clips are sold as a pair. Shipping to the U.S. is included in the price. If you are ordering for shipment outside of the U.S. please email us for an additional shipping price estimate.

The Joni Loom is wonderful for the serious tapestry weaver who doesn't quite need the width of the Zeus Loom.

Pure tapestry or large scale bead weaving bliss! The Joni Loom is the loom for those of you who like to think big but don’t want your loom to take over your room. Joni is 32 inches wide. You can weave a piece on her 29 inches wide and 59 inches tall. That’s a lot of space for creating your dreams. Pair her up with the stand and treadle and you’ve got yourself a fabulous floor loom at a fraction of cost and taking up a fraction of the space. She’s great with or without these additions. She’s stronger than some of our other, smaller, looms, sporting a double top and bottom beam to make sure she can accommodate the kind of tension tapestry weavers demand.

Great for tapestry or large bead pieces, the Zach Loom can make a piece 19" x 47" but still stores easily! Our third dedicated tapestry and bead loom is the perfect size for the weaver who wants that extra size to weave substantial pieces but doesn’t necessarily want to take her/his loom to the beach. Great for workshops because at 8 pounds and 22 inches wide, it’s still a really portable loom. But also a great addition to your weaving studio.

Some who use Delicas for wide bead pieces prefer to use the 16 dent warp coil because they believe the 18 dent warp coil causes too much crowding. This set is for you... a bottom spring kit (perfect for wide bead pieces) and two 16 dent warp coils for the price of one.
The bottom spring kit is a plastic tray for holding a spring at the bottom of the loom (like the one at the two) with two attached brass acorn nuts for holding the spring (warp coil).
Bottom Spring Kits are Perfect for:
-Weaving wide bead pieces
-Weaving wide tapestry pieces
-Small format tapestry (more than 18 DPI)

An extra shedding device for your Mirrix Loom for those of you who didn't buy one originally (For an 8" or 12" loom) or for those who want a second shedding device for your larger loom. Adding a second shedding device to your Mirrix will allow you to use techniques in your tapestry weaving such as twill weave, basket weave and tabby weave. These fancy and fun techniques will take your tapestry weaving to the next level.

You will receive the shedding device, a set of clips (if you need them), a handle, and an Allen wrench.

This kit allows you to put on a shorter warp. In so doing you will reduce warp waste. Because it also eliminates having a layer of warp on both the front and back of the loom, it allows you to better position your hand for weaving wider pieces with the traditional method of bead weaving. It is also great for those of you who weave tapestry from the back and want to have a better view of the front of your piece from the back of the loom.

The package includes an extra warping bar, Texsolv cord and special pegs to attach the Texsolv cord to the warping bars. You don't have to warp your Mirrix this way for weaving beads, but it's a nice alternative and adds yet another dimension to ways you can use the Mirrix loom to fit your special weaving needs.

She's long and lean and the perfect go to loom for someone who wants to keep it small but large enough to weave any piece of jewelry, a substantial beaded piece such as a small purse or wall-hanging or a small fiber tapestry. Although this version of the Lani Loom does not include a shedding device it can be upgraded to include one. This allows you to spend a little less up front and decide later whether or not a shedding device will enhance your weaving experience.
You can learn more about the shedding device here.
The Lani Loom stands on a table with her one long leg forming a tripod. When not extended to her full length, she will also fit comfortably on your lap making the Lani a great loom to throw in a bag and take to those events where you just have to be doing something with your hands. Great for making samples and taking to workshops. If you prefer smaller projects and serious portability, this is the loom for you.

Individually hand milled in the United States of beautiful hardwoods, these clips hold the warping bar when warping your loom and then hold the shedding device if you're using it. These clips may be used as an extra set or to replace your clips if you're using the older, black plastic clips and want to switch to the wooden ones.
These clips are sold as a pair.

The bottom spring kit is a plastic tray for holding a spring at the bottom of the loom (like the one at the top) with two attached brass acorn nuts for holding the spring (warp coil).

When our customers make a suggestion, we listen. And how could we not listen to McKinley who said we needed a 28" inch loom to fit in between the 22" and 32" looms. He said it would be perfect for weaving table runners. We think it's perfect for weaving anything. Named after Mckinley, one of our all-time favorite customers (not that we choose favorites) this loom is sure to bring you the kind of joy McKinley has brought us.

This is our most popular Mirrix Loom. Mid-size and still portable, the Big Sister Loom is great for bead or tapestry weavers. At 16 inches wide and weighing in at 6 pounds, the Big Sister is both bigger than her little brother and has been around longer. She was the first loom we designed! Bigger does not always mean a lot more expensive. A tapestry or bead weaving 13 inches wide and 34 inches high can be woven on this elegant, compact loom. Another great workshop or travel loom, the Big Sister stands firmly on a table.

The Mirrix loom extenders are ideal for people who want to weave belts, guitar straps and longer, thin pieces without having to purchase one of the large looms. Included are two lengths of threaded rod, a coupling device to attach it to the threaded rod side bars of the loom, and feet extenders to give your loom its original stability.

There are two sizes of loom extenders. One size is for the 12 and 16 inch looms and gives an additional two feet of weaving length. The other size is for the 22 inch loom and gives an additional 20 inches of weaving length (this is because more length would make the loom unstable).

One of our best-selling looms, great for bead weaving and tapestries. Fits in your lap or stands on a table. Sold here without the shedding device for those who want to weave beads using the traditional method.

The Little Guy is small enough to sit in your lap or throw in a bag, but large enough to weave more than one piece of beaded jewelry or a beaded tapestry. The Little Guy is so cute, so portable and fits perfectly on a lap when he isn’t standing on a table with his two fold out legs. Weighing in at a featherweight 5 pounds, this 12 inch wide loom is a workshop goer’s dream. Weave a piece up to 9 inches wide and 24 inches high.

Six skeins of 12 yards of the most beautiful hand-painted silk you've ever seen. We pick the colors since no two skeins we paint are alike. But each selection covers a full range of possibilities since each skein is a combination of colors.

Use this for your affinity bracelets, tapestry/bead cuff bracelets or for tapestry weaving. This silk yarn is made of 3 plies of 35 Mulberry silk filaments (20-22 denier each) for a total of 105 silk filaments. Lots of natural shine, smoothness, evenness and strength.
